Hey guys.

I made a 6" delrin top. It was a lot more work then the smaller models. Just so much more material to remove.....the time to do it was exponential!

I put together a 4 minute video showing a lot of the steps and the fun that was had while making this top.



Check it out!

Great job Dave! That's a beauty. Thanks for posting.

Just curious, where do you get your delrin stock?

Really enjoyed that video, Dave. You're a natural narrator. I think a metal tip will also add to the esthetics.

Wonderful top! I hope to try it at worlds 

The video is great! You have a calming voice. You could host a popular youtube channel if you wanted.

Well done Dave !!!

Enjoyed seeing that from beginning to end. It looks amazing and I think your plans with the white and black came out very nice. I also agree with your metal tip decision. Can't wait to see the finished project.

The entire turning process was beautiful. Great job Dave!.can't wait to see a metal tip in the top and a video showing it.

Thanks everyone.

It was truly a great experience with a lot of work! I was so surprised how much longer it took to make the 6" verses the 3 and 4 " models.

I just need to perfect the bearing tip section, and get a metal tip and I will be good to go!

Great job Dave! That's a beauty. Thanks for posting.

Just curious, where do you get your delrin stock?

This piece of stock came from a friend......not sure exactly where he got it, but it was a gift to me! I know a chunk like that would be pretty expensive otherwise.

Nice work Dave. I have made a couple of four inch delrin tops and I never want to do that again on a manual lathe. Delrin is just to heavy. With the cnc you can hold the wall thickness to 3/16 max. Then you have a super top. Try making some segmented tops it's fun. The tops are light 13 oz.

Better yet delrin black and white segmented top.

Enjoyed watching the video. Nice Job Dave. Great looking Spintop.
